Cold

"And because of the increase of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold." Matthew 24:12

Is our love growing cold?

  when we can be diverted with mundane things

Have we given up on love?

  letting lives be taken right in front of us, victim blaming 

Has the love dissolved?

  because we think it's more important to justify

Lawlessness is an action done

  not who does it, not what they wear

Lawlessness violates God's love

  in seeing the other, in acting the same way

Lawlessness is not whose right

  by color, or uniform 

Don't give up on love

  it speaks with an angry voice at injustice

Don't let love rest

  because you rest in self-righteous claims

Don't let love go

  because it hurts to really feel we are the human family

When one hurts we all hurt 

When one dies we have lost

A father, brother, mother, sister, friend

Remember love and you will hear

The cries of our connectedness

The love of God for all and the death of injustice
